My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

"Master, Cui Yan has closed the net!" Li Xingzhi came to Lu Xuan from Sanyang County in Yunzhou and smiled at Lu Xuan.

"What a big show." Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready." Li Xingzhi nodded.

"Go and get ready, and call in the other generals. Lao Cui's net is about to be closed, so it's time for us to close it too." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Soon, Yan Danfeng, Yang Ao, Zhang Yuanrou, Mu Feixue, Huo Zhan, Cao Jingzhong, Yang Chong, Sandao, Ergou and Mu Wenyun and other core civil and military personnel from Lu Xuan gathered at Lu Xuan's mansion. In the past four years, they Almost all communication with Lu Xuan is through Shuijian. Even if the distance is less than a hundred steps, the communication is still through Shuijian.

Although it felt good at first, over time, it still felt a bit boring and there was no atmosphere like face-to-face discussions.

"We are recruiting everyone here today because of the matter of Huangzhou. After four years of game, now Yanyun and Yunzhou are full of Polygonatum odorifera. Huangzhou has issued an order not to purchase Polygonatum odorifera anymore. This year, the people will not only lose their money, but also lose their money. And there is no food for the winter." Lu Xuan looked at everyone and smiled.

"Speaking of which, they didn't do it themselves. They talked about growing more grain, but no one listened. Is it okay now?" Chen Ergou said speechlessly.

"General Chen's words are inappropriate. The common people are running around all day just for a few taels of silver. They have no information channels and do not know the general trend. When encountering such a thing, naturally they can only see immediate benefits." Mu Wenyun shook his head. He sighed: "As parents and officials, we should protect the safety of the people."

Chen Ergou curled his lips. The old guy had a pretty good reputation in the past few years. He was more ruthless to wealthy families than he was. He really loved the people as his own children, but he just did it to earn more luck. In addition, he had a wife. My daughter with thick arms has a strong waist.

Of course, everyone wants luck, but he simply doesn't like these civil servants who are mothers-in-law.

"Lord." Mu Wenyun stood up and bowed: "Since the other party has taken action, the next step is to manipulate the price of food. I think we should not release the food first. When they start to control the price of food, the price of food will keep rising. , after the people saw the consequences, each government opened warehouses to release grain to stabilize grain prices, and at the same time sent people to vigorously publicize the matter. Only in this way can the benefits of this matter be maximized and their grain merchants be forced to sell their grain at a fair price."

"Mr. Mu is right. The food has been prepared. Cui Yan has done us a big favor this time. The luck of Yanyun and Yunzhou has been stable now, but if this matter can be handled properly, I will The luck of the Guiyi Sect should be improved even more." Lu Xuan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Just follow what Mr. Mu said, and leave the coordination to the fourth senior brother, with Mr. Mu's assistance."

Everyone nodded silently. Lu Xuan had been preparing for this for the past four years. Although he didn't know where the food came from, there was too much food and grass in the treasury of each state and county, enough to last the people of the two states for a year.

"Leader!" Yan Danfeng stood up and looked at Lu Xuandao: "Then since the Cui family dares to attack my Guiyi Cult, should we fight back?"

"The counterattack has begun, but don't rush to send troops. We won't be too late to send troops after they are in chaos first!" Lu Xuan nodded and said: "But what we really need to pay attention to is not Huangzhou, but Dongzhou. The Xie family He also participated in this incident against my Guiyi Sect. If our sect invades Huangzhou, the Xie family will probably send troops north, so Yanzhou’s border defense must be guarded against! Feixue!"

"The general is here!" Mu Feixue stood up and said solemnly.

Lu Xuan took out a black gourd and threw it at Mu Feixue and said: "I leave the military deployment in Dongzhou to you. As for the masters, Huo Zhan and Cao Jingzhong will follow you to Yanzhou to deal with the opponent's masters. I still have them here." The Taoist soldiers that Master left for me, if Lu Fengxian appears first, use this thing to trap Lu Fengxian."

"Leader, it is said that Lu Fengxian once killed several fifth-level monsters in the East China Sea and protected a safe place. This person's strength is extraordinary and comparable to that of fifth-level monsters. I am afraid that this soldier... will not be able to trap this person, right?" Mu Wenyun was worried. road.

During the battle at Yunhe, according to Mu Feixue, Lu Fengxian was quite powerful. If he hadn't held back, Mu Feixue would have been dead. Naturally, he knew about the Taoist soldiers in Lu Xuan's hands, but this thing , it may be feasible to deal with ordinary fifth-grade people, but is it a bit reluctant to deal with someone like Lu Fengxian?

"This Taoist soldier is not used to kill the enemy, but to trap the enemy. According to what my master said, as soon as this Taoist soldier comes out, he can set up a formation that seals the sky and locks the earth. Anyone under the fourth rank can trap them, but they can only After seven days of sleep, the Xie family has trained a fifth-level descendant named Xie Xuan in the past four years. Now there are five fifth-level masters, but this Lu Fengxian should be the strongest, and it is unlikely that the Xie family will send out all fifth-level masters. , Feixue, remember, this soldier only trapped Lu Fengxian, don't waste it on others." Lu Xuan said solemnly.

"Feixue understands." Mu Feixue said solemnly.

"But the Xie family is also a big family after all. With the Mountain and River Seal in hand, it has taken five years to cultivate a fifth-grade family. It's too bad." Zhang Yuanrou couldn't help complaining.

The Guiyi Sect didn't have any fifth-grade people at the beginning. Not counting those who joined later, like Mu Feixue, the Guiyi Sect cultivated five fifth-grades. The Xie family only had one mountain and river seal, so they enjoyed the luck of two states. , but only one came out.

"It can't be calculated like this. Judging from the news from our Shenfeng Hall, Dongzhou of the Xie family is better. Xie Yun of Zhangzhou only relies on family status in employing people. Although the people under his rule are better than before, they are still limited and far from good. Just like the officials of Yanyun and Yunzhou were in charge of the Qingming Dynasty, there were rebellions from time to time in the territory, and Dongzhou was not mentioned. Back then, our Guiyi Sect was defeated, and Dongzhou was almost bloodbathed. The combined population of the two states may not be as large as one now. Yunzhou is naturally lacking in luck, so it would be great to be able to cultivate one." San Dao couldn't help but complain.

There was no way, Xie Yun's inner arrogance could not be turned around for a while, and he still used the politics of the gentry. Although Cui Yan was his opponent, he was ruthless in suppressing the gentry. I heard that the same was true in Wuzhou, Only under the rule of the Xie family, there were no nobles in Dongzhou, and the nobles in Zhangzhou were basically untouched, let alone the annihilation of the clan like Lu Xuan's, which was even less likely to happen in Zhangzhou.

Because of this, Zhangzhou's luck has never improved. Xie Yun not only wanted luck, but he was also naturally close to the nobles and did not want to be too harsh on them.

"Speaking of which, is there any newly promoted fifth grade in Huangzhou?" Zhang Yuanrou suddenly asked curiously.

"There should be some, but I couldn't find out." Lu Xuan shook his head. When Lu Feng first went to Zhangzhou, he didn't notice that there was a newly promoted fifth-grade martial artist. However, Cui Yan successfully broke through to the realm of fame, but the strength of Confucianism depends on it. What matters is luck, not realm. When Huangzhou's luck is gone, Lu Xuan doesn't care much about the realm of fame, not to mention the realm of four virtues.

Generally speaking, Confucianism will not be included in Lu Xuan's calculation of the fifth grade.

It’s not that I look down on Confucianism, it’s just that during the confrontation between the two major forces, I felt that Confucianism was almost useless in the battle. No one would easily step into a place where the other party’s luck was shrouded. Where there was no luck for the other party, Confucianism could not exert its power. What is the use?

"The War Hall and the Skitarii Army are ready at any time, and another 50,000 standing troops are mobilized to prepare to enter the wilderness." Lu Xuan looked at Yan Danfeng and Yang Ao and said: "Yan Danfeng, Yang Ao, and Yang Chongqian are responsible for this matter."

"Yes!" the three of them stood up and said.

"Sandao, the enemy's intelligence must be sent to the war hall and me in time. The three armies have not moved, so the intelligence goes first. The intelligence is very important. There must be no mistakes!" Lu Xuan looked at Liu Sandao and said.

"Yes!" Liu Sandao said, cupping his fists.

"Leader, when will the troops be launched?" Chen Ergou couldn't help but ask.

"When things here are resolved and chaos breaks out over there!" Lu Xuan said with a smile, "It should be soon. Everyone, go and prepare. After this battle, I will rebuild Tiandu."

With all three northern states under control, Lu Xuan would be eligible to enter Tiandu.

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up, said goodbye and left.

"Old Yang, please stay for a moment!" Lu Xuan called to Yang Chong.

"Leader, what else is there?" Yang Chong asked confused.

"In this battle, the fifth rank will dominate the battle, and you will be the vanguard general." Lu Xuan motioned Yang Chong to sit down and said, "You have reached the peak of the sixth rank. Don't feel pressured. You will be able to break through sooner or later."

In the past four years, the luck of the two states has spread. Lu Xuan's sixth grade has been increasing day by day, but the fifth grade has never appeared again. This is certainly related to the gap between Lu Xuan's masters, but also to the increasing number of talents. All Luck must flow through Lu Xuan and then be distributed to others. It has no effect on Lu Xuan, but for other people, the more luck is distributed, the less it will be distributed to everyone.

After the luck is stabilized, there are more and more talents, but the base of luck cannot keep up. Naturally, there will be less luck. If you want to get more luck, there are only two ways. One is to wait. As the population slowly increases, another is to open up new cakes.

"Brother, my talent...let you down!" Yang Chong said bitterly. He had been working hard all the time over the years, but seeing more and more masters around Lu Xuan, Zhang Yuanrou and Huo Zhan made breakthroughs one after another in the past few years, giving him It brought a lot of pressure, but his talent was really not outstanding. He wanted to help Lu Xuan, but the gap was getting wider and wider. If this continued, he might be forced to be marginalized in the future.

Although Lu Xuan takes care of these old brothers, the rule of the Guiyi Sect is that those who are able go first. He has no ability and cannot blame others. However, there will be fewer and fewer places where he can help this big brother in the future.

"Don't worry, I've taught you that the Nine Blood Coagulation Refiners is a waste of time, but it has the effect of improving your bones. And after you reach the fifth level, the gap in talent will gradually decrease. Your greatest advantage is not how good your talent is, but how good your talent is. Resilience and willingness to take steps step by step may seem slow, but in fact your foundation is the most stable. It has been more than ten years since luck came to you, and you have accumulated almost the same. This battle should help you break through. ." Lu Xuan patted his shoulder and smiled.

The Nine Blood Coagulation Refiners is a simplified version developed by Lu Xuan based on the Blood Coagulation Hundred Refiners. The effect is naturally not as good as the Blood Transformation Heavenly Scripture, but it does have the effect of relaxing tendons and cleansing the marrow. However, the progress will naturally be slower, and you have to endure the tendons in the process. The heart-gnawing pain caused by thousands of ants during the marrow cleansing.

In fact, not only Yang Chong had it, the Nine Blood Coagulation Refiners Lu Xuan also passed on to the brothers who had followed Lu Xuan for the longest time, but in the end, only Yang Chong was able to persist to the Ninth Refiners.

"There will be a lot of world waiting for you and me to break into in the future. Don't rush for a moment." Lu Xuan patted his shoulder and smiled: "This practice is not a sprint. Don't cause me to lose a brother because of a moment of radicalization. We brothers There isn’t much left now, so don’t leave me alone!”

"Yeah!" Yang Chong nodded heavily.

"Go get ready."
